Riverotter, or anyone. What type of camera are you using to take such great photos. The digital camera I now have cannot take such closeups. when I try the pictures are quite blurry. Any help would be appreciated,
Thanks,

Are you using the "macro" setting on your camera? ...that can help greatly for close-ups.

I have a Toshiba PDR 4300 with zoom. If you have a zoom and are too close to the object, that might be why they are blurry. With my camera, I need to be a couple of feet away from the object I am shooting when using the zoom. I took a bunch of blurries before I figured that out.  llana |

I use a Sony Cybershot 2.1 for my photos. The closeups are taken in the macro setting. It allows you to get real close to your subject without blurring the pic.
As far as the zoom goes, many digital cameras have 2 zoom options, manual and digital. Although you can get better zoom with the digital setting it will blur and distort your pics the further you zoom in. I always keep mine set for manual zoom.
